How to Build a Privacy Fence That Does Not Warp

Pick the location of your privacy fence. Place a piece of rope where the fence will start and drag the rope around the yard, marking the location of the future fence.

Dig a hole 2 feet deep where the fence begins with a hole digger. Measure 8 feet away, following the location of the fence. Dig holes every 8 feet around your yard, marking the location of your fence posts.

Pour concrete mix into a plastic bucket and add water, following the recommendations of the concrete manufacturer. The finished concrete should be thick and smooth. Spread a 6-inch layer of gravel at the base of the hole and top with the concrete. Set one of the wood boards in the concrete. Repeat this step with each of the fence post holes.

Slide a PVC post over the top of each wood board. The PVC post matches the fencing panels and hides the wood support. Press down on the top of the post until it sits ½ inch below ground. Cover the top with a PVC post top. Repeat the step with each of the remaining wood boards, creating your fence posts.

Set a PVC fence post measuring 8 feet long between two of the fence posts. Line up the angled edges on the panel with the slots in the PVC posts. Place the edges into the slots and push down, applying enough weight that the fence panels slide between the posts. Attach one fencing panel to each area between two fence posts.
